The more I learn about packing and how to manage my travel with fewer things, the more I learn about doing the same with my everyday life. When I ask myself, "What do I really need to survive yet still maintain a good life?" I find that the list gets smaller and smaller. As most homeowners insurance companies will tell you, family photos are usually the most personally valued. They are for me too so I shall put them up near the top of my list. I need a home of some sort to live in, a bed, and a table and chairs. A sofa would be nice and a flat screen TV across from it would be even better. An iPhone dock for music, some pots, pans, dishes, flatware, glasses, a couple rugs, lamps, towels, blankets, sheets and clothing should round it off. Oh yes, A blow-dryer and a few toiletries would be needed along with the basic appliances (refrigerator, stove, sink, etc.) that we have all grown accustom to. Well, thats it for now as my goal to pack light morphs into one that lives light.
